Lucy in the Sky (soundtrack)
The Lucy in the Sky (soundtrack) refers to the musical score and collection of songs featured in the 2019 science fiction drama film Lucy in the Sky, directed by Noah Hawley. The film, starring Natalie Portman, explores the psychological effects on an astronaut returning to Earth after a prolonged mission in space.
The original score was composed by Jeff Russo, an Emmy-winning composer known for his work on television series like Fargo, Legion, and Star Trek: Discovery. Russo's score for Lucy in the Sky aims to capture the isolation, disorientation, and emotional turmoil experienced by the main character, Lucy Cola.
The soundtrack often utilizes atmospheric and ethereal soundscapes, incorporating electronic elements and orchestral arrangements to create a sense of vastness and the unsettling nature of Lucy's experiences. In addition to Russo's score, the soundtrack may also feature licensed songs from various artists, although specific track listings can vary depending on the release. The overall musical landscape of the film and its associated soundtrack is intended to complement the narrative's themes of identity, perception, and the search for meaning.
